The decision followed unfavourable large-scale media coverage of the event by the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, Canadian Press wire services, Kitchener-Waterloo Record, and other major Cana- radio dian newspapers, and TV stations. "It is our hope that we can continue our policy of allowing a large degree of autonomy and sclf-governance in residence life," said Weir. The president said he was aware that panty raids have occurred on that he campus in the past, but was not aware that they were "ac- companied by vulgar displays, that a trouble-shooting guide for dons control included advice on how to panty raids, or that security had any part in allowing access to the dining hall after hours." The "Commiticc on the Events of September 27-28, 1989" recom- mended that "though the panty raids were not undertaken with overt violence or malicious intent" WLU will henceforth "neither condone tolerate raids' other which nor 'panty or activities arc similarly demeaning to either gender."
